V. CODE OF CONDUCT Destination Maternity believes as a matter of principal, that federal, state and local laws

designed to protect workers in the garment industry are necessary and important, and that all

employers in our industry should strictly comply with these laws. While the employment practices

of our Suppliers are not within the control of DM, we hereby go on record as affirming our

intention to do business only with garment manufacturers and factories, which share our views as

to the importance of obeying these laws and policies.

If it comes to the attention of Destination Maternity Corp. that any Supplier with whom we do

business has been found in violation of these laws, policies and principles, Destination Maternity

Corp. will reconsider its continued use of any such garment manufacturer. Destination Maternity

Corp. does not intend to do business with Suppliers, who willfully violate laws and policies,

designed to protect workers in the industry. Destination Maternity Corp. Code of Conduct must

be posted in an obvious location in all factories, translated into the languages of the workers. All

new workers shall receive an orientation upon employment, including an explanation of these

practices.

TRANSPARENCY

Destination Maternity expects vendors and factories to be transparent in their operations,

policies, procedures and recordkeeping and to embrace a fundamental effort towards

operational efficiencies and continuous improvement. If local or industry practices exceed local

legal requirements, the higher standard applies. Factories producing goods for DM are

expected to be honest and transparent with all records and to have evidence of compliance.

Destination Maternity will not tolerate any Supplier that submits falsified records.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS

Vendors and factories must operate in full compliance with all applicable rules and regulations

including those regarding labor, worker health and safety and the environment. In addition

compliance with applicable United States and foreign laws and regulations on the importation

country permits) or younger than the age of completing compulsory education in the country

where such age is higher than 15.
